Bulgogi Burgers

A while ago I made some bulgogi that I really enjoyed and I remembered thinking that a bulgogi burger would be a good idea. Bulgogi is a Korean dish of meat that is marinated in a sweet and salty marinade and then cooked over fire. Now that summer is here, it was the perfect time to try out my idea. I started with ground beef and the marinade from the bulgogi recipe. There was a lot of liquid in the bulgogi marinade, far too much for burgers, so I tried to reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe. I then went with the tried and true burger binding of an egg and some bread crumbs. The bulgogi burgers turned out really good! They held together nicely and yet they were super moist and just full of flavour. I of course had to have some of my homemade kimchi in the bulgogi burgers and it added even more flavour and a bit of heat. I served the bulgogi burgers with some baked sweet potato wedges and some steamed asparagus in a gochujang sauce .

Now this is interesting…hmmmm…a Korean grocery store opened near my house not too long ago. Simply everything looks foreign and I keep going back to watch the demonstrations. I can see why you love these influences in your cooking.

These look great and the ingrediant list is very unique – I have never had this but I am up to trying it that is for sure. I love the use of the Panko bread crumbs as the texture ans taste is excellent.

You know Kevin, I always have a hard time to appreciate burger, it just not my type of food. Maybe because the regular burger is always too plain (for me)! I always want something spicy and lots of spices.

So, your burger sounds so good and quite unusual. This will be my ultimate burger!!!!!! Thanks for your always brilliant idea! I think you should be a chef and open a restaurant!

I have been eating Korean Bulgogi Burgers in Austin Texas, since about 1995. I am a total addict. Seriously. There are a number of joints named "Burger Tex" which are all owned by differing (unaffiliated) Korean families.

They are all outstanding, but I would say the BurgerTex II location near the University of Texas @ austin is the best of them all. Set your gps for 2912 Guadalupe st. in Austin TX.It was ranked 14th of the top 50 burgers in the state, by Texas Monthly magazine, (Texas Monthly, Wednesday, July 22, 2009)
